      Does this mean the real inflation rate is in 3 figures now?

      I've just bought a budget camera for £20 more than it cost 6 months ago, and as it turned out this 1 year old camera was the best model I could find for a budget price.

            No they don't.

            People will just be buying less stuff than they did before. Companies supplying goods or services that are discretionary will go out of business.

                Even if interest rates quadruple, 2% is still very, very low.

                If that is the straw that breaks the camel's back it just goes to show just how ****ed up the country is. Still, where in the world isn't ****ed up at the moment?

                  WHS

                  People borrowed when interest rates were 5%+, they should be glad interest rates don't go up to 10%.

                    Bring on the 5%+ rates... then I'll grab myself a few more bargains from the repo-man to rent out
